Talk Too Much

COIN's song 'Talk Too Much' delves into the complexities of communication and the often overwhelming nature of overthinking. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of someone who is acutely aware of their tendency to speak excessively, often to the detriment of their relationships. The opening lines, 'Caffeine, small talk / Wait out the plastic weather,' set the stage for a conversation that feels superficial and forced, highlighting the struggle to connect on a deeper level.

The chorus, 'You know I talk too much / Honey, come put your lips on mine / And shut me up,' reveals a desire for intimacy and a break from the constant chatter. This plea for a kiss as a means to silence the overactive mind underscores the tension between the need for connection and the fear of saying too much. The repeated line, 'We could blame it all on human nature,' suggests a resignation to the idea that overcommunication is an inherent part of being human, yet it also hints at a longing for simplicity and quiet.

Throughout the song, metaphors like 'tightrope across the table' and 'red velvet under pressure' evoke a sense of precariousness and intensity in interactions. The phrase 'Silence is golden, and you've got my hopes up' encapsulates the yearning for a moment of peace and understanding. COIN's 'Talk Too Much' is a relatable exploration of the internal battle between the desire to express oneself and the fear of overwhelming others, making it a poignant reflection on the human condition.
